Race is a great way to keep fit. However, it is not always easy to remain motivated. Below, a sports coach reveals an excellent method to keep the pace.
The sun is shining, the birds sing, walkers are out … These are the ideal conditions for running. If that continues, we are sure to start again tomorrow. The problem ? The weather is rotten, and you don’t like running enough to go out in the cold. Do not move (or move, precisely), we have the solution for you.
Before you tell you more, Hugo Georges (alias coachugo of Station Form Paris XII), gives us a precious advice to slim effectively: “Weight loss comes with hyperthermia. That is to say, to burn fat, your body must sweat“. In short, as long as you do not feel drops of sweat drip, you can lengthen your racing time, or increase speed. Besides, as long as you are able to speak during the activity, our expert encourages you To intensify the cadence. One solution: Have you ever thought about running on a racing mat?
“Oh no, it snows, it slips too much”, “I’m frozen, impossible to go out”. No more apologies! With this interior machine, you no longer undergo the sometimes capricious weather. Result: you keep fishing to put on your sneakers.
That’s not all. In addition to adapting to your profile, the racing mat offers you more security for two reasons. First, it avoids changes in coatings (tar, earth, gravel, etc.), which sometimes become impassable according to bad weather. Then some models encourage you to run the right way. We can explain: many runners complain of knee pain. “Often people run badly. To name only two essential habits to adopt, you have to know how to lift your knees, and touch the ground with the heel first”tells us the sports coach. Some sports halls are equipped with curved carpets that encourage the heel in the right way. Result: your knees thank you.
Of course, outdoor race also has its advantages, especially that of enjoying nature. But if it is not really your passion, and your primary goal is to lose weight, the racing carpet is a good way not to be discouraged. And then, if you can alternate both, it is even better!
